Something to think about for the race day

Hello Team,

I love this commencement speech. I think what he is describing is everything in life is more mental then physical.
He also talks about boat crew around 6:20 and mentions paddling that everyone has to dig in.
I think this applies to dragon boating also.

Thank you.

Hello Team,

Niccole have graciously offered to open up her home to us for APCA Dragons after party. Yummmm, I'm looking forward to that Carne Asada.  Start time is estimated since we'll be heading out there after we have cleaned up our tent area.

Please respond by 7/15/15 If you can join us so she know how much food to prepare.
Please contact Niccole or me if you have any questions.

P.S. No, we will not have bouncy castle =p

Thank you.
